Will Richardson Talks About Blogs

Ok, So What is a Blog?

"A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it's anything you want it to be. For our purposes we'll say that a blog is your own Web site that you are going to update on an ongoing basis." (Blog Basics)

Blog is a short form for the word weblog and the two words are used interchangeably.
